Can we measure the incommensurability?
1Westmattelmann/Goelden: The Fight against Doping
Situation
Different fields of our social and economic life seem to be incommensurable (extend of tax evasion; racism; organized crime; homophobia etc.)
Game theory attempt to solve this questions

Doping in elite-sport becomes increasingly important˃ Balko˃ Armstrong˃ Operation Puerto (Fuentes)˃ …
How can we provide recommendationsfor the fight against doping by using
agent-based modeling (ABM)?
What research tells us about the doping rate.
Because not all doping practices are detectable and encompassing doping controls
are not feasible, the true extent of doping can only be estimated.
2Westmattelmann/Goelden: The Fight against Doping
Do you know the„real“ doping rate?
We found that itseem to be
between
1% - 72%...
… depends on whoyou ask!
The players be on the field „Anti-Doping“
Objects below build up the main channel of interaction within our ABM.

Athletes
Anti-doping agency Doping laboratory
• Heterogeneous population.• … compete in each period.
• Usage of doping improves chances of success in the same period.• Each athlete pursues his career for a limites periode of time.
Players
• … announces anti-doping rules
and therefore also the complexity.
• … imposes penalties.
• … issues statistics on doping.
• …executes anti-doping control.
• Doping detection depends on
test efficiency.
What types sof athletes do we have?
According to the ABM of Hokamp & Pickhardt (2010), we consider 4 agent types
4Westmattelmann/Goelden: The Fight against Doping
Athletes
Agent types
… athletes may use doping with
respect to an expected utility
maximization approach
… athletes are strongly influenced
by doping behavior committed
in their social network.
• For instance, social network
equates to professional
cycling team.
… athletes always act compliant to the rules of the system.
… athletes want to act rule-
consistent but may commit
doping unintentional (lack of
knowledge about doping).
• Doping behavior depends on
complexity of the anti-doping rules.
Rational (A-types) Suggestible (B-types)
Moral (C-types) Erratic (D-types)
How to create/measure performance in an ABM?
The athlete‘s individual performance is the basis for the competition results.

V. Renewal

VI. Allocation of income
VII.Publication of statistics on doping
I. Ageing of athletes
I. Athletes age each period until they die and will be replaced by an agent at minimum age.
II. Doping decision is taken and competition will be conducted.
III. Ranking with clean and doped athletes.
IV. Because test efficiency and frequency is imperfect, not every doper will be caught.
V. Detected doping sinners are removed from ranking.
VI. Income will be distributed on the basis of renewal ranking.
VII. Anti-doping agency issues extent of doping and other statistics.
Can the model be extend?
Back controlling could bring the race between the hare and the tortoise to an end.

2004 2008 2012
• Novel performance enhancing drugs are used before corresponding analytical detection methods exist.
• WADA is empowered to keep doping control samples safe for up to eight years.
Gap between use of new doping practices and its detectability will be closed.

Conclusion and outlook
Basic framework is build, and within the next time it needs to be extended by
adapting various features.

“Statistically the numbers of people being caught is between one to two per cent, that’s the numbers of positives against the number of tests. But the number of people doping are in the double digits.”
